RF Level
The RF level can be set directly using the [LEVEL] key or via the Level - Level menu.
In the Level - Level menu, the set RF output level is entered and indicated under Amplitude.
In level settings made with the [LEVEL] key, the offset of a subsequent attenuator/amplifier is taken into
account (see section "Level Offset"). This makes it possible to enter the desired level at the output of
subsequent units. The offset can also be entered in the Level - Level menu under Offset.
dBm, dBFV, mV and FV can be used as level units. The four unit keys are labelled with the respective
units. To change to another level unit, simply press the corresponding unit key.
IEC-Bus-Befehl :UNIT:POW DBM | VOLT | V
Using this command, the basic unit of the RF level only can be changed and set. Simultaneously, the
displayed unit is changed accordingly.
Notes: - The note "Unleveled" appears in the status line if the displayed level is not attained.
- Further settings: Level Sweep Sweep menu
Menu selection: Level - Level
